Addressing a meeting of the parliamentary committee on Education, Health and Information Technology, Secretary at the Education Ministry, Suresh Adhikari, said that Minister Rai issued a directive to mobilize doctors in health camps only after issuance of criteria determined by KU after lifting the suspension of Dahal. 

KMC had suspended Dr Dahal for his refusal to be part of the health camps. The decision, however, has drawn criticisms with lawmakers saying that the action was not in accordance with law.
